The Associated Press reported today that a British medical study shows that taking certain popular heartburn drugs such as Nexium, Prevacid or Prilosec for a year or more can substantially increase the risk of a broken hip in older patients.

I am a Dallas, Texas lawyer who has had the privilege of helping thousands of clients since 1971 in the areas of Personal Injury law and Social Security Disability.
The title of this blog reflects my attitude toward those government agencies and insurance companies that routinely mistreat injured or disabled people. As a Dallas, Texas lawyer, I've spent more than 45 years trying to help those poor folk, and I have been frustrated daily by the actions of the people on the other side of their claims. (Sorry if I offended you...)
